Adding a FortiSandbox

  1. Go to Profile Components > Manage FortiSandboxes.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the FortiSandbox name field, enter the desired name for the FortiSandbox. This name appears on the Manage FortiSandboxes pane and on the Sandbox Detection tab when configuring an endpoint profile.
  4. In the IP address/Hostname field, enter the FortiSandbox's IP address or hostname.
  5. If desired, select the Scheduled synchronization checkbox. If Scheduled synchronization is not enabled, you can only sync FortiSandbox configuration by clicking Sync Now on the Manage FortiSandboxes pane.
  6. If Scheduled synchronization was selected, configure the sync schedule in days, hours, or minutes.
  7. Under Inspection mode, select one of the following:
    1. None: FortiSandbox does not inspect any files to FortiSandbox.
    2. All High-Risk Exts: FortiClient inspects all supported high-risk file extensions and sends to FortiSandbox as appropriate. The list displayed may include file extensions not supported by the FortiSandbox unit.
    3. Custom: Only available after FortiClient EMS retrieves the list of supported file extensions from the FortiSandbox unit. Customize the list of selected file extensions to inspect.
  8. Click Save.
